Lonely Road

Here I am again at the beginning of the road
Looking to my future with ambitions, unknown.
Drearily the wind blows and pushes me forward still
And yet it brings me nowhere but the bottom of the next hill.

And as I look around I see the hills and grasses green
I look towards the horizon and finally know what it means
I gain so much and yet I feel this emptiness inside
I feel I may have been born incomplete or maybe I died.

What proof do I have that I'm alive?
Except that there's others like me.
What exists that I have yet to grasp
Please end this eternity.

I walk towards danger and yet I have no fear
Because I don't know at all, what i'm doing here.

Lonely Togetherness

If I could build my love for you
I'd fill a gorge with snow.
So no one else would bother us
And no one would ever go
To an igloo that I'd build for us
To discuss the world in our world of snow
And no one else would have to know
That what we had was real
That we were connected through convictions we feel
And no one else would have to know
That we lived and thought freely,
In our focused world of snow.

Twisted fate

This is actually meant to be sang as a blues song in traditional form...


I saw her coming 'round the bend
She seemed like quite a sight
Her calves a strong as ox's
She'd do well in a fight

But she seemed so pretty mellow
I had to have a shot
I took it, went to speak to her,
And she said dude, piss off.

I can't understand why it was you
I can't understand why it was you
I walked into a trap and found my baby loved me too
But I can't understand why it was you.

She smiled just so perfectly
Her teeth a shiny row
Her fingernails were bitten down
And she killed me with those toes.

Our sex was fucking world war one
And still nobody knows
I can't understand why it was you.

I can't understand why it was you
I can't understand why it was you.
You make a feller turn old yeller
I just can't understand how it was you.

She was my baby
Loved her so much
Filled me up with roomy thoughts
And left me in the dust

But I'd tell her if I saw her that it was meant to be
She'd ask me how I know these things and why doesn't she?
I'd tell her darlin' listen and I'll tell you the whole truth:
I can't understand but it was you.

I can't understand why it was you.
I can't understand why it was you.
I lost my other half and didn't know till it was through
I can't understand but it was you.
